Piqued by the Kogi State Government’s new policy, stopping patronage of some banks in the state, 14 commercial banks yesterday, suspended services to customers as a form of protest.
The Guardian findings revealed that the affected commercial banks took the decision in protest against the state government’s decision to open unsolicited salary accounts for civil servants in Zenith and Access Banks.
The action, it was gathered has put the affected banks in difficult situation, who lamented that the decision would make it difficult for them to recover their facilities from civil servants who hitherto banked with them.
Many customers were stranded when they came to do business at their various banks yesterday, as they were turned back, leaving only Access and Zenith Banks attending to civil servants.
The organised labour had earlier embarked on strike on Monday over alleged “imposition of strange and unsolicited salary bank account on workers by the government in utter disregard to established civil service rules.”
Other grievances leveled against the government include, “imposition of new PAYE regime on workers, non payment of salaries to local government workers, pensioners, core civil servants and non implementation of 100% minimum wage to primary school teachers.”
When The Guardian went round the capital city the banks; GuarantyTrust, UBA, Sterling, Fidelity, First Bank, EcoBank, Union, WEMA, Skye Banks, Diamond, FCMB, Unity and Stambic IBTC were all under lock and key.
Customers with their ATM cards queued up to try withdrawing from the machines that were bogged down by network issues.The combined strike of labour and the commercial banks has practically grounded both government and commercial activities in the state.
A customer in one of the banks, Joel Usman said the strike was justifiable on the grounds that a lot of civil servants whose salary accounts were in those banks had collected facilities using their salary accounts as security or collaterals with the knowledge and consent of their employer.
At a forum recently where the issue came up, Governor Yahaya Bello explained that the bailout fund received by state governments was the result of the Federal Government standing surety for them to approach deposit money banks for facilities.
In other words, against the generally held impression that the Federal Government has always doled out these funds from its coffers, it essentially provided a guarantee for the loan facility to would-be lenders, in favour of the state government.
According to him, “Due to the prevailing economic situation, cash reserves of commercial banks domiciled with the Central Bank of Nigeria, were currently competing for so many pressing needs simultaneously, making it increasingly difficult for the banks to finance loan facilities, especially long-term ones.
“Access and Zenith Banks were however able to step up to the plate when the state approached them. They made the first tranche of the state’s bailout funds available, but on one condition. The condition was that the funds remain domiciled in their banks.”
The organized labour had directed workers to stay away from work. But in defiance, investigations showed that workers reported for duty and signed the mandatory attendance register ordered by government.
The Commissioner of Information, Muhammed Away Imam disclosed at the secretariat that the workers came to work, adding many of them were suffering from divided loyalty.

If this news/write-up is true, den our democracy is in real trouble, we have to do something urgent, otherwise dictatorship would be the order of the day in this great nation of ours, I still can not believe the source, until Vanguard, Guardian, Thisday newspaper etc carries the news, I refuse to believe.

The question is 'does the president have the constitutional powers to stop a sitting governor from travelling'. That is the pertinent question this whole issue if true, is raising. It is important to note that the unrestrained exercise of power is the classical definition on tyranny. If the President has overstepped his boundaries, that is clearly a ground for impeachment of the President. Can someone take an oath with the Koran to abide by the provisions of the 1999 constitution during the swearing in exercise, and then turn around less than 14 months into his tenure to start denigrating the constitution which is the only basis for him to be in Aso-Rock. Would the President claim not to know what was in the constitution when he was taking his oath of office? It is important for the national assembly and judiciary to synergize in rising up to their responsibilities in the defense of our constitutional democracy before anarchy becomes the order of the day.

Nobody is saying witch hunting because it's APC vs APC. It's not about politics now. Haa nairalanders!!!!!

Its like this administration don't even know their boundary in a democratic setting, it is just a pity. How can you just apply an undue influence on another tier of government forcing them as if you are in a military era. I think this Buhari government needs some orientation on governance.

Salary has no business with this. The master doesn't just want anyone to compete with him on international travels.
Talking about owing salary, where do you work? I work in a federal govt parastatal, to be precise, a parastatal under the ministry of Sci and tec, and I'm being owed.

An elected governor in a federating state? Can't believe I am reading this. He is not a minister or an appointee of the President. He is the head of a federating state. The presidency does not have the power.

Everyone is commending the the Presidency now but if it were to be PDP Governor.... Hmmm

Osezzua:



Do not let anybody fool U. D target is not Gov Bello. This is a grand plan to execute d grand scheme of restricting movement of specific Governors.

If u remember some weeks ago, there was a rumour that D government plans to restrict some serving Governors from travelling outside d country (d FG has not denied this). By this action, they intend to set precedence such that when their threats are being executed, n any of the Governors starts protesting, then they can make reference to this case.

Religion religion religion, that's the only thing people take seriously in that country.

His state is burning but pilgrimage seems to be more important to the 1diot.

bashydemy1:
Hmm see this yeye boy ooo, If the guy was allow to travel now you and your likes will flood this thread saying APC Governor is owning state workers salary and go for lesser hajj, FG stop him from going except he clear the state salaries again na wahala...


time for impunity is over wherer Governors will think they can do anyhow.

thunder74:
This must be a comic relief. Is the country this bad? Tell me it is a joke. In a federating state? Guess what, some people will support this reckless use of power.
